This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard floated around Mozilla, dating 
back to the days when releases were numbered M1, M2 and so on.   MathML support 
is basically the ONLY regard in which Firefox has any real differentiator 
between itself and the rest of the browsers out there.  Choosing to support 
MathML is one of the few examples of the Mozilla leadership group displaying 
any real vision and choosing to lead, rather than follow, in the browser 
market.  If you drop MathML support, I say you might as well just cancel the 
Firefox project altogether.
